This sight list all the winners
Sandy – Let me do a little research, and I’ll see if I can come up with a list of past winners. Look for it over the weekend. Thanks.
Forgive my double entry, I thought the first one didn’t send. I’ve been having problems with PC. So now forgive third entry folks.
I know we all have our favorite breeds but…….Has an English Mastiff ever won Best in Show? I don’t seem to be able to find this information if one has? If not, why not? It seems the the judging is certainly biased towards the little or fancy guys. The poodles have won way too many times. There are So many breeds that owe their existence ot the Mastiff, isn’t that worth some note and respect? It’s like the judges don’t even give these guys a second glance, I’ve watched them in the ring when it counts. Why? because they are messy? Let’s give these powerful but gentle giants the respect they deserve huh?
Has an English Mastiff ever won BEST IN SHOW? I don’t seem to be able to find this information if one ever has and if not, WHY NOT? Since so many breeds have been breed from the mastiff breed. Why is it always the little guys? Why not a nice big solid dog for a change? The judges don’t even give them a second glance. We think we would die if an English Mastif ever won best in show. Start getting some judges in that have an eye for the big gentle giants. It seems to be biased.
